(07-25-2017, 06:44 AM)Theo Pryce Said: You know I've been asked why I, as 50% owner of the XWF would allow one of my friends to be fired and to date I have remained silent on the subject.

Not anymore.

I didn't want Cadryn to be fired. I like Cadryn. He's fun, he's a good wrestler and he's a nice guy. A bit fucked up in the head but who among us isn't?

However as much as I like the guy he is a member of the XWF roster. He was the Hart Champion after dispatching former AX3 member Robert Omega in exciting fashion. As such he was required to defend the title on every edition of Wednesday Night Warfare. He did not comply with those requirements, which, that alone does not warrant termination but he mouthed off to Paul and well, we all know that Paul despite being big boned is thin skinned. So terminated he was.

As I have made clear time and time again as one of the owners of the XWF I do believe in standing by XWF Management Staff and doing what is best for business. Even if it pains me personally to do so. I do not play favorites, that much should be abundantly clear by now.

Having said that, I have spoken to Cadryn and he has asked that I read the following statement on his behalf.


"To my friends, family, and fellow roster members of the XWF. I would like to formally apologise for my actions that resulted in a termination of my contract. I haven't been feeling like myself much lately and due to that I made a rash decision and was clearly disrespectful to Mr. Heyman. As we all know I pride myself on being the bigger man, and with that, Mr. Heyman, I apologize. I should have been the champion I was expected to be, and I wasn't. I am very sorry for my actions, and though they reflect poorly, I would like the opportunity to redeem myself."


So there we go. Paul, you made the decision to fire Cadryn, without consulting anyone else, something that in the future I recommend you try to avoid. You and I are friends Paul, and as such I am going to leave this ball in your court. Do the right the thing.

First and foremost, Theo Pryce, I did not act unilaterally. That fact is undeniable. I showed Cadryn's pink slip to the cameras on Warfare. His termination was signed by Vincent Lane prior to the start of the show as a precautionary measure. While I did not intend to fire Cadryn Tiberius, I did cover my bases. He threatened an elected XWF official and that is why he was terminated.

To Cadryn: You and I have virtually never seen eye to eye. From the very beginning of my time as Commissioner, I've watched you grow from a low card glorified enhancement talent, to a bonafide star and its made me proud. From me challenging you to impress me, to you shocking the world by defeating Robert "I Don't Wanna Play No More" Main. Since my own return to the Xtreme Wrestling Federation last year, I've taken steps to be a different Paul Heyman. In years past, I would use trickery and abuse my General Manager authority in order to elevate those I liked: See John Samuels. Or I'd abuse my power to squash those I didn't. See: Neonero. Who? Exactly my point. This era of Paul Heyman in the Xtreme Wrestling Federation has been, and will be different. I now let YOUR actions do the speaking, the dictating. Cadryn Tiberius refused to defend his Hart Championship. The meeting on Warfare was intended ONLY to be a come to HaShem moment for Cadryn Tiberius. Cadryn reacted by coming at me in a threatening manner and I felt that I had no choice left in the matter.

Let this Cadryn Tiberius saga be a lesson to the rest of the roster. Those of you that think I have no real power within the XWF, I do. You just saw one of the two owners pleading with ME!

With that said, I have been thinking long and hard about this as I do not take losing members of this company lightly. You can ask Theo Pryce how I reacted when Thomas Nixon took an indefinite leave of absence once Colton Kato was given the reigns of Savage. That was a failed experiment, but I'm getting off topic here.

Here's the truth of the matter: I never actually sent in Cadryn's termination to HQ. Which is why he's been able to drop his little videos this week. Was it negligence on my part?

Paulie grins.

Or was it something more? Perhaps this was completely motivated by me being sick to death of the disrespectful nature of some of this roster toward me, the single greatest General Manager in this history of this company. I came back here to fix the title picture so that we don't have shit champions like Scully that win the coveted Universal championship then go on a 7 month vacation while NOT EVEN ONE single GM, not one owner, said "you know what? thats kinda bullshit."

So here we are. Cadryn Tiberius disrespected me like so many others have. Cadryn Tiberius was fired as a result. And now he's made a public plea. He's made an apology.

Paulie reaches into his jacket and pulls out the pink slip, showing it to the camera. Signed by Heyman, and by Vincent Lane. He places the pink slip into a paper shredder and shreds it to thin strips.

I am a man of great fairness these days. Cadryn Tiberius... welcome home.
